My grandma was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last month. Her idol, Alex Trebek, was also recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I wrote to Mr. Trebek asking for some words of encouragement and well wishes. To my complete surprise -- he responded! Thank you for taking the time, Mr. Trebek!

I like his message. Classy. Not soppy, not fake.

Good luck to Karen (if I read the name right) and Alex, and all good people who have been given the bad news.

“Karen, lets you and I decide that we both are going to be cancer survivors. Stay positive. All the best. -Alex Trebek”

I’m not to efficient at reading cursive. So anyone else struggling to understand, you’re not alone.

Edit: text - had both in the wrong place

Edit: To the anonymous Redditor who gifted me my first gold: Thank you so much! I never thought I would get this much appreciation. I always try to make it easier for the next person if I can.
